Aztecs are disrespectful to a civilization that doesn't even exist anymore, I mean whats next with this garbage, jeez gimme a break you fricking *******, Vikings cultural appropriation

Indians already pussed out, hopefully that one thing Daniel Schneider ever does right is not give in to this nonsense

5 progressive leftists get their panties all in a bunch and f things up for normal people. Why do we even listen to them, is there some hidden Aztec living in Socal that is offended by this. SDSU is the only thing keeping Aztecs relevant

my favorite part

The task force report led Roush to decide that the words Monty and Zuma can no longer be used in name of awards by the university. The nicknames represent the breaking apart of the word Montezuma, which Roush said is "very disrespectful of the emperor of the Aztec civilization."

Adela de la Torre, a social justice expert who will become SDSU's permanent president in late June, has read the report and agrees with Roush's decisions, the university said.

a social ****ing justice expert, what the hell is that, someone who is offended by everything

and on this note, I withdraw my Alumni donation

I thought you were joking until I went back and re-read the OP.
Un-freakin-believable.

On a side not I'm surprised I got away with pussification here but ****tail doesn't make it.

Note the glorious steed on which the gallant warrior rides...it's eerily reminiscent of what Eric The Red no doubt rode into battle, complete with the horned helmet which is totally NOT based on costumes from a Wagner opera from seven centuries after the Vikings disappeared.

Un-freakin-believabl.

I had considered highlighting that part of the article, but I was worried that it would look to much like I was baiting people with that line.

But I'm glad that people actually noticed that little bit of absurdity.

Not only was the Aztec warrior sanitized a bit, but he hasn't been an official part of the school's athletic program for a few years now. All of his expenses are covered by private alumni donations, not by the university or the athletic department.

So basically, this is a publicity stunt by the interim and incoming presidents of the university to try and make it look like they're "woke."

Other than that, all they've accomplished is preventing some good students from winning awards called "Monty," and "Zuma," because that will surely please Quetzochotil.

well I know for a fact they had Ugg boots back then so at least they got that right

What is a social justice expert anyway? What degree program is that at SDSU or it is one of those technical certifications where you wear special headgear? Where will this neutered mascot practice its craft after the team has no place to play? 😎
